Thread: Morning Sickness

Morning sickness! Those 2 words still makes me cringe, im 25 weeks pregnant and just this morning i had it. I had it at my worst during the first 3 months and it lingered away somewhere during the 4th month. It is not an easy thing to deal with, i had it so bad. The most common things that are said to be done to help with morning sickness are, have crackers at your bedside so you can eat a few before you actually get out of bed since having an empty stomach makes morning sickness worst, those candies they sell at motherhood and babies store is said to help, ginger etc.
In my case none of those helped. I remember one morning i woke up feeling so queasy and i got myself 2 cracker, well as soon as i ate those 2 crackers it came right back out. I think you have to try out foods and drinks yourself and see which one works for you, i found that coke or pepsi worked for me at most times, but, nothing stopped my morning sickness. Be sure to intake lots of fluids of you are vomiting alot. You may also lose weight, a few pounds is normal. Dont worry, it will subside soon.

Thanks!! I just found out today that I'm seven weeks along, so the process is starting!!! I had to leave work today because I had morning sickness.

Congrats to you!
My doctor always told me having morning sickness is a good sign, it means the baby is doing fine. The baby produces this hormone that cause the morning sickness which is a good thing. A recent study shows that women who had morning sickness have a less chance of developing breast cancer. Just think about in a few months in will be all over!
